Based on data from small-plot studies utilizing high intensity simulated rainfall, conversion of pinyon-juniper stands to grassland in central Utah has not necessarily increased infiltration rates or always reduced sediment yields from a given point on treated areas. Of 14 sites studied, two sites indicated improved infiltration rates and two sites indicated decreased infiltration rates on treated as compared with nearby untreated areas; two sites had significantly less sediment from treated areas compared to nearby untreated areas./Basado en los datos de los estudios realizados en pequeñas parcelas utilizando una alta intensidad de precipitación simulada, la conversión de sitios de pino-enebro a zacatales en la parte central de Utah no necesariamente ocasionó aumento en las tazas de infiltración u ocasionó reducción en las producciones de sedimentos de un punto dado en las áreas tratadas. De 14 sitios estudiados, 2 sitios indicaron mejora en las tazas de infiltración y 2 sitios indicaron reducción en dichas tazas, en los tratamientos comparados con áreas cercanas sin tratar; 2 sitios tuvieron enforma significativa menos sedimentos en los tratamientos comparados con áreas próximas sin tratar.
